DAIRY SUGGESTIONS,
The Question of Working and Sailing B,
ter Discussed by an Authority,

The Question of Working and Sailing But
ter Discussed by an Authority.
Mr.. John Gould, upon the question
of working and sailing butter says:
IF there is no sac about the butter
globule to rub off, then there are few
methods that we need to change about
churning. We should skim the milk
before it thickens, SO as not to coat
these globules of cream with sour
milk; thoroughly mix and stir the
cream each time a new article is added;
promote ripening by keeping the cream
several hours before churning. at the
churning temperature, to get this
ripening in advance of the usual
souring; churn in revolving churns,
having the cream more fluid in
its character than is usual with
thick sour cream, now that we know
about it's structure. The motion or
movement like pouring water is the
correct principle, and is best secured in
a revolving churn, and we get the best
results when the cream is somewhat
thin and the churn is about three
eights full.
THE great object is to preserve the
grain of the butter, and to do this,
washing the butter is far preferable to
working out the buttermilk. No but
ter-worker yet made can fully take out
the buttermilk from butter without
breaking these globules and making
the butter more or less salvey. If the
butter is washed free from buttermilk
there is no occasion to work over the
butter; all that is needed is to press
out the surplus moisture and fashion
the butter into form. and this can be
done almost wholly in packing.
Then in sailing we can save or de-
stroy this grain. Butter should be
salted when very wet. and use just
what salt will dissolve readily. and no
more. If we first work over the butter
and get out the moisture, and then
put on and work in dry salt, we cut
the grain out of the butter with the
crystals of salt, and have not salted
the butter either. The only object of
salt and its only Office is to coat each
of these globules with film of brine
liquid salt, and seal. if we can, the fat
from The action of the air, and then we
put on another coat in the form of the
package, to further preserve it, the
last having quite as much to do with
the keeping of the butter as the salt.
If We use more salt than will dissolve
we are only adding something to
sharpen our teeth, which can be
done with more comfort in some other
way."-Fosna, Field and StocEandn.

President Depew's Good Advice.

President Chauncey M. Depew Of the
New York Central railroad, in a recent
speech to the employees Of his railroad,
said: 'No man can stand still. The mo-
ment he tries to do nothing but eat his
meals and bottom chairs, he is no use. He
goes back. His opinion is not worth any
thing, and no man will pay him two cents
an hour. A man is like locomotive. Am
bition is the engineer. Hope is the fire.

in coal and water are his home, the
church, the society he keeps, the libraries
he uses. There are no breaks on this To-
comotive When he stops, the locomotive
must run back. How shall a man use
these two months of the year which he
has at his disposals There is gentleman

ACTINOMYKOSE.
An Interesting Professional Report on q
Newly Discovered Disease.

An Interesting Professional Report on q
Newly Discovered Disease.
In Vienna recently at a meeting of a
society for the propagation of scientific
culture. Prof. Albert read a paper on
wly-discovered disease, which he
called '.Actinomykose." The name is
suggested by a parasite of the actino-
myze, the latter being species of ra-
dated fungi. The discovery of this as
predisposing sickness is of recent date.
Investigations which have been made
by Profs. Billroth and Albert on living
bodies, have demonstrated beyond
doubt that diseases, the origin of
which had been traced to scrofulous,
tuberculous or cancerous inceptions,
are now traceable to the effect of the
fungi mentioned. Examinations of
pus have made these diagnoses certain.
The Investigations also indicate. unfort-
unately, that .'actinomykose" is fatal
disorder Three points of attack
have been settled upon. The
alveolar process, from which the para
site diffuses itself throughout the whole
masticating economy, and then to the
soft parts of the throat, where it plays
sad havoc with the parts. Another
point of attack is the lungs. If the
presence of the parasite is superficial
in that respiratory organ, an acute
catarrh is the result, which rapidly
degenerates into chronic form as the
parasite makes its way deeper into the
affected parts. This chronic catarrh then
develops into an acute inflammation of
the diaphragm. The third point of at
tack is the intestines. The destruction
of tissue is rapid and a well-defined
case of peritonitis is the inevitable re.
suit. The affinity of the parasite for
the bones. particularly the lumbar and
dorsal vertebre, has been noticed. A
to how the body becomes inoculated
with this destructive agent has not yet
been answered. The parasite has, in
it's natural state. not been found free
from other elements. and consequently
it has become a matter of some Difficult.

Serious Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon about 4:3O horse
attached to a buggy, the property OF Mr..
c. E. Belvin, took fright at the corner OF
Eleventh and Bank streets and started
off at a rapid pace. He ran up Capitol
street to Ninth, and just as he turned into
Ninth the buggy was upset by running
into rope which had been suspended
across the street on account of sickness
in the neighborhood. This threw Mrs.
Belvin and her ten-year-old daughter
(who were the occupants of the buggy
out into the street. 1t also smashed the
buggy into a shapeless wreck.
The horse continued his flight down
Ninth to Bank and down Bank to
Twelfth, where he fell, and before he
could regain his feet he was caught and
held by colored man. In falling the
horse cut one of his hind legs so badly as
to nearly sever the hoOf, which may rem
der him useless.
Mrs. Belvin was cut about the head, and
her arm is badly bruised. She suffered
greatly at the time, but it is thought and
hoped that this was more from the shock
to her nervous system than from injuries
sustained by her fall Her little daughter
was uniniured.
